Hurley Head-Butt Should Have Drawn Tech

UConn coach Dan Hurley head-butted a referee following Braylon Mullins' game-winning shot against Duke, an action that should have drawn a technical foul.

During the chaos following Mullins' last-second three-pointer that gave UConn a one-point lead over Duke, Huskies coach Dan Hurley stepped up to a referee and lightly head-butted him. The incident went unnoticed during the game, but many observers believe it should have resulted in a technical foul that could have cost UConn the victory.

Hurley has a reputation for being animated on the sidelines, but making physical contact with an official is generally considered a technical foul in basketball. The UConn coach will now head to the Final Four without any immediate repercussions for his actions.
